Trump theorized that ObamaCare was increasing in popularity not because people liked it, but instead because its end was near.

“People hate it, but now they see that the end is coming, and they’re saying, ‘Oh, maybe we love it,’” Trump said, without further explanation. “There’s nothing to love. It’s a disaster, folks.”

He then speculated that it might be better for him politically if he just allowed the system to “implode.”

“Let it be a disaster, because we can blame that on the Dems that are in our room — and we can blame that on the Democrats and President Obama,” Trump told the National Governors Association at the White House.

“But we have to do what’s right, because ObamaCare is a failed disaster.”

Governors have raised concerns that the changes could undermine their efforts to expand Medicaid in their states and leave them stuck with ballooning payments.

Trump met later Monday morning with health insurance executives, some of whom are worried that the uncertainty over the health care law’s future is spilling into the marketplace.

Without offering specifics about what he wants in a replacement package, Trump called on the executives to work with the government on a way forward.

“We must work together to save Americans from ObamaCare,” he said.

Sen. Charles Schumer, meanwhile, said Monday the odds are “very high” that the GOP won’t be able to muster enough votes to repeal ObamaCare.
